Abstract:
 This article concerns a nonlinear system modeling the bending vibrations
 of a nonlinear beam of length 
. First, we derive the existence of
 long time solutions near an equilibrium. Then we prove that the nonlinear
 beam is locally exact controllable around the equilibrium in 
 and with control functions in 
. The approach we used are open
 mapping theorem, local controllability established by linearization,
 and the induction.
